They are the Youth
Colour & Codeine come from the Philly area and play their own brand of alternative rock tunes that are equally hard and pop. Their sound borrows from the worlds of pop punk, hardcore, and pop music to create a sound that plays well with bands that range from metal to pop rock.
The song they contributed for the Cancer Sucks comp is called “We are the Youth” which begs a question for me… at what age am I, thepaintedman, no longer allowed to sing along to theses songs about being “the youth” without irony? I realized recently that belting out the lyrics to tunes about being young may be something I will have to reconsider.
But I digress… here are a few more awesome songs by these local boys…
